Need some advice on whether to repair or scrap. The other half drives the offending vehicle - a 308 HDi (2.0 136hp) on a 57 plate. We've had it since it was 2 1/2 years old n its now covered 110k. It's been serviced regularly n has been really reliable (only ever needed spring n wheel bearing).
Now it seems to be trying to self-destruct! Needs DMF & clutch. Also turbo has quite a whistle & is apparently on its way out. It's a difficult decision as car is probably only worth £2.5k n repairs are going to come to £1800. £1000 of that is labour. We'd be prepared to throw that money at it but if anything like the particulate filter decides to throw up a code we could be talking another £500
Local garages view is that its not worth doing the work. It's only 10 years old ffs!!!!
